Punjab is a state located in the northwest of India. The people of Punjab, are very particular about their food. They always pick fresh ingredients and accept nothing but the best, and you can see that in every angle of their lives, including cooking.

Our dessert today is Punjabi in nationality but loved internationally. Gajar ka Halwa is made on weddings and parties, but I’m not waiting for someone to get married or through a party to have this delight.

I crave for it often and no one can blame me. It’s amazing how you take a vegetable like carrot and make an awesome dessert out of it. This creamy in texture, rich, and sophisticated delicacy is now diabetic friendly and with less calories

My method is a bit different, only because I’ve used low fat milk, and low fat milk burns quickly, so I’m not cooking the carrot in milk from the start, but the outcome is amazing.

Thanks Muna! I made this the other night and every body in my family loved it. It’s definitely a new comfort food of mine. I think I should have finely grated the carrots though. It didn’t look quite right. But the taste was amazing and I loved how it was low-calorie.

Hi Sanam, I’m glad you and your family liked my low calorie version of Gajar Ka Halwa …. You are right about finely grating the carrots, that contribute in making it creamy in texture! Hope you try my other recipes too!
